MOVIES.

The Athletics are sadly in need OF
catchers.
Fennclly is batting quite hard himself
this season.
Mobile Ims signed ''BilIec" Taylor to
play first base.
George Burnham is once more plotting
the indianapolis team.
Serad, of the C%incinnatis, seems to be
meat for the Clcvelands.
Ewing's playing doesn't seem to please
the average New Yorker.
Tip O'Neill is doing some of his old
time S~lugging for st. Lous.
The Cleveiands on Monday passed the
Nets in the Association race.
The Alicghenys are unfortunate in the
matter of CXtra.inning games.
Buckley and Haley have been given
their release by the Syracuse club.
Ninety-three men have played in the
Southern League thus far this season.
The number of players who are getting
shoulder hound is getting very extensive.
Powers now has the call among spccta-
tors a. the hest umpire the League ever
had.
The International clubs are playing
much better ball than the clubs of the
American Association.
Schock made lots of fun for the crowd in
New York on Tuesday by his coaching
tactics. Umpire Powers made it funny
for him also by filming him $40 for being
too fresh.
Bastain played with the Philadrlphias
in the game with the New Yurks on Thurs
day, and did the best playing he has yet
done for that club. His work was re-
markahlc.
The Cleveland club has an eye on Han
dihOe. The young mau from Columbus is
not Tor sale, but enough money might IN
ducc the Alleghenys to part with him. So
il is said.
Gctzrjn proved to he regular meat for
the ChicagOS ON Thursday. They batted
him terriIically, making eighteen with to-
tai of thirty-ivc hits, and winning the
game in the ninth inning by knocking out
three runs.
Manager Byrne has a sensation on tap.
something that will make the dry homes
rattle, SO it is alleged. 1t will be sprung
upon an u~nSuSpecting public in due time.
When Byrne misses Il train the conditions
are wrong and no mistake.
80 much has been said and published to
the effect that the New York team is torn
by internal diSSensions that all the players
in the club Thursday signed a card d2cllr-
Ing that there was not the slightest luun-
dation for any such report. This will help
the public in their belief more than my
thing else.
Whew! How the scores do run mp in the
Association. On Thursday all the scores
inclined TO double figures except the Louis
villc-Athletic contest. In the Baltimore
81. Louis game, the latter made twelve
runs in one inning, while the former made
ten in a like turn at the bat. The new
rules are certainly responsible for q large
majority of these.
Cleveland tried hard to get King, the
new st. Louis pitcher, and would have
paid big money for him, hut Won der Abe
does not give up a good thing so easily,
and as long as King continue to help the
Browns win as many games as he is do
iug, there is no | likelihood OF Cleveland or
anyone else getting him. King says him
self that he would rather play with the
Browns for 81, 600 than with any other
club for 5000. Such a touching example
of affection and gratitude is not met with
every day.
In a recent game with the Manchesters,
Noodle, of the Boston Blues, went to the
bat in three successive innings and made
thre successive home runs. Each hit was
a clean drive over the left field fence.
When he made ms first home run the spec
tatOrs applauded; at the second they
shouted and applauded, but when he fol-
il up at third time he went to the bat with
another home run the crowd yelled and
fairly went wild for several moments.
Noodles feat is unprecedented in the his,
tory of the game.
Reddy Mack is back on second for Louis
Vile, and his fine work will cause his re-
~tention at that bag. Collins is playing left,
and Reccius will he used as a substitute.
Manager Kelly takes his st. LOuis defeats
much to heart, and says: You may not
believe it, but with a little luck We would
have won at least three of the games. 0uI
errors, while not more numerous than those
